Petition Expiring and Never reached the NVC :( ! Help?

[SweetSimplicity 1]

Hi guys,

I need some advice...because honestly, me and my fiancee have exhausted all (and I mean ALL) means of help, and here we are, a few weeks from the expiration date of our approved K-1 petition, with the actual physical file somewhere in this world; but not at NVC!

It was approved on March 13th, yet it was NEVER forwarded to the NVC!...three months later, and we've just recently learned that it's 'in transit' to the National Records Center to be archived It's expiring in a couple of weeks, and we're clueless as to what we can do now..

We contacted the congressman,

and went to infopass appointments,

we talked with tier two...

and NVC supervisors...

and now I pretty much lost all hope.

Any help guys, and I'd be forever grateful..

I really, REALLY don't want to start this process from scratch!...we filed last July, and to get to the point where we are now (approved but lost petition! ) has been torture.

Thanks darlings,

Zee

p.s additional info: we were approved at CSC, I'm a canadian citizen, my fiancee is a U.S citizen...

Honestly, I have no advice as to what you can do, but I just wanted to say I am so sorry for what you're going through. It sounds like a living hell. Best of luck and you will be in my thoughts for a quick solution!

Thanks for your reply, it really is a living hell.. we've tried all we could, but honestly, at one point, you just get so emotionally exhausted.

I can imagine . Try to stay strong, although I know that probably seems impossible right now. Love will win out in the end, I'm sure.

The "expiration date" is meaningless. Email the Embassy, maybe they have it?

if you are certain that it was sent to NRC,

then you should really get in touch again with the Immigration Liason Staffer at yer congressman's office,

via telephone,

NOW.

[SweetSimplicity 1]

^^^ we contacted the congressman and described our entire situation to them (by writing), they assigned our case to someone who works there...is an Immigration Liason Staffer any different than that?

[Darnell 8,478]

no, that's the same person.

Use a telephone, call, now.

It hasn't even gone through NVC, so it's impossible for it to have reached the American Embassy in Canada...

We're going to email them to try to request an extension, thank you!

We did, she told us to call back in a week since the person is still looking into it

As I stated that expiration date is meaningless, in the K-1 visa process.....the I-797 Notice form is used for other purposes where those dates on it mean something.

Once NVC and the Embassy have the case, the date (there really isn't one ni the K-1 process) is automatically and transparantly extendec.

Do email the Embassy since they may be able to look backwards to help find the case.

Contact the DHS Ombudsman through their online DHS-7001 form: https://cisomb.dhs.gov/oca/form7001.aspx

The ombudsman is charged with overseeing the USCIS/NVC process. If there is something wrong, they fix it for you......
